Sometimes on my morning walk I take a photo and Instagram it as a “good morning!” Today I tacked on a sharing game, and asked people to name one book that all people must read. First, I was delighted that lots of people chimed in. Then I was delighted that several of my very favourite books were listed, one of them more than once. And finally, I’ve added a few to my list.
So many great books came up that I decided to compile the list here (the links are affiliate ones, to Powells, because obviously). Feel free to add your own must-reads in the comments!
ETA: Stupid Facebook didn’t let me know that people made more recommendations there! Here they are:
also, that’s a kick ass list of books!
Snowcrash…Cryptonomicon…Pretty much everything by William Gibson. Heart of the Sea.
The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster
Oh, you had commenters on FB too, including me! :-) I suggested Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins.
My suggestion, The Elements of Style, was serious. It is so short, and so simple, yet so densely packed with excellent writing rules and suggestions. Everyone who ever writes anything should read it.
Recently I was really, really low on money and debts were eating me from all sides! That was UNTIL I decided to make money on the internet. I went to surveymoneymaker dot net, and started filling in surveys for cash, and surely I’ve been far more able to pay my bills! I’m so glad, I did this!!! – o4c9
